  • Empowers anyone to launch a decentralised AI model and be rewarded with cryptocurrency when it is used

  • The franchise business model is designed to undercut the pricing floor of traditional AI providers

  • The launch of FOMO marks the final milestone in FLock.io’s evolution into a full-cycle decentralised AI ecosystem with balanced supply and demand

London, 15 January 2026: FLock.io, a platform for decentralised AI model development, has announced the launch of Flock Open Model Offering (FOMO): an industry-first launchpad for anyone to launch a decentralised AI model and be rewarded with cryptocurrency when it is used.

Developers can use the platform to seamlessly integrate the user-generated models into their own applications via a simple API. By democratising access to enterprise-grade infrastructure, FOMO removes the technical and financial barriers that have kept powerful AI models under the control of a few centralised giants.

Underpinning the launchpad is a novel franchise economic model designed to undercut the pricing floor of traditional AI providers. Unlike standard cloud infrastructure where pricing is dictated by raw compute costs, FOMO utilises a deflationary crypto-token buy-back-and-burn mechanism, where revenue from model usage is automatically used to purchase and burn model-specific tokens. Model users can also stake these tokens to secure discounted API usage rates. This structure incentivises model owners to subsidise inference costs for early adopters, ensuring that as a model’s usage grows, value accrues directly to the stakeholders who backed it.

The launch of FOMO marks the final milestone in FLock.io’s evolution into a full-cycle decentralised AI ecosystem. By connecting the platform’s supply side of AI Arena for model training and FL Alliance for computations support, as the demand layer, FOMO closes the loop.

Since launching its mainnet in 2024, FLock.io has experienced explosive increase in use, with 10,007 fully-trained machine learning models being created and over 56,000 people holding its native FLOCK token. FLock.io has recently been appointed as the official AI strategic partner of the United Nations Development Programme and also works with Alibaba, NHS, Aigen Sciences, CIMG Inc. and Moorfields Eye Hospital.

About FLock.io

FLock.io is a platform enabling the decentralised development of AI models. Its incentive-aligned architecture allows data owners, compute providers, and AI engineers to collaborate securely without exposing raw data, ushering in a new era of privacy-preserving, democratised AI.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Polygon Tops RWA Rankings With $1.1B in Tokenized Assets

The post Polygon Tops RWA Rankings With $1.1B in Tokenized Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes A new report from Dune and RWA.xyz highlights Polygon’s role in the growing RWA sector. Polygon PoS currently holds $1.13 billion in RWA Total Value Locked (TVL) across 269 assets. The network holds a 62% market share of tokenized global bonds, driven by European money market funds. The Polygon POL $0.25 24h volatility: 1.4% Market cap: $2.64 B Vol. 24h: $106.17 M network is securing a significant position in the rapidly growing tokenization space, now holding over $1.13 billion in total value locked (TVL) from Real World Assets (RWAs). This development comes as the network continues to evolve, recently deploying its major “Rio” upgrade on the Amoy testnet to enhance future scaling capabilities. This information comes from a new joint report on the state of the RWA market published on Sept. 17 by blockchain analytics firm Dune and data platform RWA.xyz. The focus on RWAs is intensifying across the industry, coinciding with events like the ongoing Real-World Asset Summit in New York. Sandeep Nailwal, CEO of the Polygon Foundation, highlighted the findings via a post on X, noting that the TVL is spread across 269 assets and 2,900 holders on the Polygon PoS chain. The Dune and https://t.co/W6WSFlHoQF report on RWA is out and it shows that RWA is happening on Polygon.
